Chapter 124
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 124<\/p>\n
“Frances Louis, are we going to die in this desert island?”<\/p>\n
Perhaps the fever makes me stupid. How could I say such things to Frances Louis?<\/p>\n
“No. As soon as the storm stops, the company will surely come and you’ll be all right. If you are tired, take a rest. You may have been home when you wake up.”<\/p>\n
Frances Louis has never talked in such a tender tone to me.<\/p>\n
His over tenderness makes me feel unrealistic.<\/p>\n
“I don\u2019t want to sleep. My stomach is churning.” I say weakly.<\/p>\n
Frances Louis says nothing but holds me tighter.<\/p>\n
Then, it rains. I hear the rain pour loudly, but there are only few drops on my body.<\/p>\n
The cold rain drops on my face, which wakes me up.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t lie in Frances Louis\u2019s arms like this. If Whitney comes back and sees us, I couldn\u2019t explain then.<\/p>\n
Quickly I push Frances Louis away. As soon as my hands touch his outfit, it can squeeze out water easily. After pushing him away, the rain seems to get heavier and I am caught unprepared.<\/p>\n
But it didn\u2019t rain heavily just now.<\/p>\n
Unless\u2026<\/p>\n
I look at Frances Louis and ask, “Did you just block the rain for me? Why are you so wet?”<\/p>\n
Frances Louis looks at me coldly and says indifferently, “You think too much. I have just come out of the sea and my clothes are still wet.”<\/p>\n
He told me that he didn\u2019t block the rain for me. Don\u2019t flatter yourself, Jane Noyes!<\/p>\n
I purse my lips and say nothing.<\/p>\n
“Jane Noyes, I am back.”<\/p>\n
Steven Song’s voice comes from not far away. I look through the rain and see him and Whitney return with a pile of fruits.<\/p>\n
So close!<\/p>\n
Steven Song looks over the sea and says, “You\u2019d better have some jujubes. We don\u2019t know when the storm would stop, or when the rescuers would come. I’ve just gone around the island, and there’s nothing to eat. We’re not Bear Grylls. We can\u2019t survive in the wild.”<\/p>\n
His words are helpful and Frances Louis eats some jujubes.<\/p>\n
I also begin to eat my pears. The pear is very sweet, but its inside is sour.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t usually eat pears. Even if I did, I would not eat the most inside part. But now, on a desert island, there is nothing to eat. It is better to make the best of everything.<\/p>\n
It is said that a woman’s heart is like a pear, which is sweet outside but sour inside. Today, I know why.<\/p>\n
My stomach feels a little comfortable after eating some pears. But I still feel a little dizzy and the fever isn\u2019t gone. If the fever keeps going serious, will I become an idiot?<\/p>\n
The storm rages for about two hours before it finally blows over.<\/p>\n
I feel dizzy, so I sleep by leaning on Steven Song\u2019s shoulders. In a daze, I feel someone looking at me with scorching eyes, but I am too tired to open my eyes.<\/p>\n
Half asleep, I hear Whitney’s excited voice.<\/p>\n
“Frances, look! The cruise ship is coming this way! We can get out of here!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-148","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
